[Jobu28]

Picked this guy up from my lfs today. About 8". Store had no ID. Hes my first peacock bass. Hoping for more soon. Im thinking Mono?

since nobody else replied i guess i will. looks farmy/hybrid/mono x ocell to me

 

[Jobu28]

Thanks grmanrocks. How do you tell that? I've been looking at pictures for 2 days lol.

head shape (kind of spoon shaped), late development (most other species at that size have some sort of patterning going on on the body), and an uneven split of blue and red on the tail (easiest "farm boy" triat to recognize)

Ok cool. Thanks again. Going to be getting more soon. Liking these guys lol
